On September 2nd, TVXQ was awarded the ‘Singer’s Award’ at the 38th ‘Korea Broadcasting Awards‘ held at the KBS Hall in Yeoido, Seoul.

Unfortunately, due to their commitments with ‘SM Town Live in Tokyo‘, the duo was unable to make it to the event.

TVXQ has led a busy year thus far, starting with promotions for their comeback album, “Keep Your Head Down“, in addition to promoting for its repackaged album, “Before U Go“. They’ve also promoted actively in Japan with “Superstar“, and once again marked their status as Hallyu stars.

Changmin commented, “I’d like to apologize for not being able to attend and give a proper award’s speech.” Yunho added, “I’m extremely glad that we were able to receive such an honorable award and promise to work hard as Korean singers to raise awareness about our country’s culture all around the world.”

He shone through. It’s true that I thought he was just another idol member till I met him. But after meeting Kim Jaejoong, who visited the office for an interview with ‘OhMyStar’, my perception changed. ‘There was a Kim Jaejoong in the past and there will be a Kim Jaejoong in the future, but shall I say that those two Kim Jaejoongs are different?’ Should I say it’s something like that?

He was a polite guy who even took the time to give thanks to the reporters who willingly agreed to set up the studio for photos. Also, his love for books showed when he took two books that ‘OhMyNews’ released.

There has always been the saying, ‘A celebrity must become a person before he or she can become a star.’ Even if Kim Jaejoong wasn’t a celebrity and was just an average Joe, he has enough charming qualities to be considered a great guy.

The message that Kim Jaejoong, who is on a roll as he evolves from ‘Jaejae’ to ‘Mu-God’ through his drama every week, gave to ‘OhMyStar’ was, “When life gets hard, let’s have a drink together? The ‘When life gets hard’ and the ‘question mark’ are the focal points to his message! It shows that he’s just a regular person who suffers from hardships in life too and though he thinks of having a drink every time, he doesn’t always actually go for one. It’s whimsical.

It could be okay to share a drink together when life gets hard. If Kim Jaejoong wants, this reporter could lend him a shoulder, whenever he needs one! Then again, does ‘OhMyStar’ become a 19+ news medium for talking about alcohol? Is that right, minister?

PD Sohn Jung Hyun of SBS’ Wednesday-Thursday drama ‘Protect the Boss’ has forewarned Kim Jaejoong’s active role in the second half of the drama.

He said, “The second half of the drama starts with the ninth episode and the anticipation will rise between the four leading roles as Ji Sung and Choi Kang Hee share a kiss together. Something big will happen with all four of them at the center of it,” and “And watch out for Kim Jaejoong’s active role in the drama.”

PD Sohn showed his gratitude for the entire cast and said, “Not only do all the cast, including Park Young Gyu, Cha Hwa Yeon, Kim Chung, Kim Young Ok and the leading actors, act well, but they all have hearts of gold,” and “Directing this drama has made me realize that I’m a lucky man to be able to work with such great actors and learn so much from them.”

Talking about Eun Seol (Choi Kang Hee) and all the things that happen to her as a secretary, PD Sohn said, “The things that happened to Eun Seol, like bringing meal tickets instead of new bills, singing alone in the office and running around the streets because of her boss, are happenings that have occurred to real secretaries who participated in an interview with us,” and “Though we haven’t been able to incorporate a couple of things such as the battle for seats in airplanes, there will be a fun and quirky war of secretaries in the upcoming episodes.“

Last of all, PD Sohn said, “I sincerely thank the viewers who show affection to our drama, and the actors and fans who have visited on location to show their support,” and “We will work hard to create a drama that the viewers will want to see and will enjoy till the end.”

The SBS drama “Protect The Boss” is receiving continuous love from stars.

On the afternoon of 30 August, JYJ’s Yoochun and Junsu visited the production center in Ilsan to show their support for Jaejoong, and treated the production team and actors for a luxurious buffet for 150 people as a present.

On Jaejoong, Yoochun and Junsu said “The fact that he and the rest of the cast fit each other very well comes through. His acting is good and it makes the show even better.” The director for the drama Son Jung Hyun PD expressed his gratitude for JYJ’s visit, and to Yoochun he suggested “Won’t you guys make a cameo appearance in the drama?”

Following that, on the same day around 11.30pm, Jang Geun Suk paid a surprise visit. Actually, Jang Geun Suk had come in support of Ji Sung, whom he has always treated like a real older brother, and brought with him approximately 40 chickens to the shooting location for his visit. That day, Jang Geun Suk and Ji Sung greeted each other and talked about their recent situations.

Also, on Jaejoong, “I’ve heard a lot about him from various people, and wanted to meet him. I really enjoy watching him act” he said.

The production team said “The sudden visits from Yoochun, Junsu and Jang Geun Suk really surprised the “Protect the Boss” team, and we’re really thankful. We’re the only team that is receiving unending support from so many stars and fans. The “experience rating” has surpassed 40%,” expressing their delight.

JYJ’s Yoochun, who appeared in “Sungkyunkwan Scandal” has won the Korean Drama Best Actor Award at the Seoul Drama Awards 2011.

Yoochun attended the Seoul Drama Awards Ceremony, which started around 5.30pm on 31 August at the KBS Hall in Yeouido, and won the Korean Drama Best Actor Award. On this day, Yoochun also won the Asia Netizen Popularity Award, winning two awards on that night.

At the awards ceremony, Yoochun said “I’m really thankful for all the love and awards that has been given to “SungKyunKwan Scandal.” This is a project that, aside from myself, many other actors and staff has worked hard on. I always want to work hard and do my best, and this is the belief that the other JYJ members and I hold on to. We’re really thankful to the fans who have given us our chances, and we will work hard.” expressing his gratitude.

Also, the Seoul Drama awards started in 2006, and this is the 6th year which it has been held, with not only Korean works, but seeing a total of 204 works from 37 different countries across the world participating in this event.

Kim Jaejoong, who is currently playing the part of Cha Mu Won in the drama, sang the OST ‘I’ll Protect You’ for the drama. The OST CD is drawing attention as it is currently the highest selling item on Gmarket Japan.

JYJ’s photobook ’3hree Voices II’ was also on the charts, coming in at number four while the ’3hree Voices II’+DVD set was eighth and the photo collection of ‘MINE’ was 16th, showing JYJ’s popularity in Japan.

Netizens who heard the news said, “Of course, it’s JYJ! Of course, it’s Kim Jaejoong!”, “Their popularity is unstoppable. This is the power of Kim Jaejoong, the King of ranking charts”, “Department Head Cha is doing awesome”, and “I’m no longer surprised when I see things like this.”

With KBS making the decision to air the closing ceremony of the 2011 Daegu IAAF World Championships on the 4th of September, it seems as though viewers will be able to watch JYJ’s performance on their television for the first time in a while.

Park Young Moon, Director of the KBS Sports Bureau, stated to Star News on the 30th, “We are planning to air the closing ceremony on the 4th of September from 9:10 for one hour, which will also include the awards ceremony for the 400m Men and Women’s relay.”

The reason the closing ceremony is receiving such great attention is because JYJ have been chosen to perform during it as they plan to stand on stage with other singers such as DJ KOO.

Till now, there have been little to no chances for JYJ to perform on a broadcasted stage. JYJ were scheduled to hold a congratulatory performance during KBS’ ‘Challenge! 7 Natural Wonders of the World, this is Jeju’ recently but were then suddenly given a cancellation notification.
